I use the latest module supplied with open at 2.3.0.1. Is there a way to exclude some products from appearing in this module when you a a new product

yes it is.
you need edit this file: catalog/controller/extension/module/latest.php

find:

Code: Select all

 $data['products'][] = array(
					'product_id'  => $result['product_id'],
					'thumb'       => $image,
					'name'        => $result['name'],
					'description' => utf8_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, $this->config->get($this->config->get('config_theme') . '_product_description_length')) . '..',
					'price'       => $price,
					'special'     => $special,
					'tax'         => $tax,
					'rating'      => $rating,
					'href'        => $this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id=' . $result['product_id'])
				);
 
replace with:

Code: Select all

 $restrict_products = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
			
			if (!in_array($result['product_id'], $restrict_products)) {

				$data['products'][] = array(
					'product_id'  => $result['product_id'],
					'thumb'       => $image,
					'name'        => $result['name'],
					'description' => utf8_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, $this->config->get($this->config->get('config_theme') . '_product_description_length')) . '..',
					'price'       => $price,
					'special'     => $special,
					'tax'         => $tax,
					'rating'      => $rating,
					'href'        => $this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id=' . $result['product_id'])
				);
			} 
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in array... are your products id's which should be excluded from the latest. You can add there id's of your products which you want exclude from latest list.

Thank you for your reply.

This would mean when you add new products and you want to exclude you have to adjust this file each time?

Is there a way to have a check box on the product to allow for this exclusion?
